Product Description:

The AS1060-0120 stepper motor is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the AS Stepper Motors series. Intended for open-loop positioning tasks in industrial automation, the unit converts pulse commands from a drive into precise angular movement without internal commutation electronics. Its permanent-magnet rotor and stator winding configuration let a machine produce incremental movement and holding capability for indexing tables, pick-and-place axes, or small gantry stages.

Electromagnetic output begins with a holding torque of 5.0 Nm, which states the static load the shaft can sustain when energized but motionless. The motor advances in discrete positions because the stator is wound for 200 steps/rev; each native increment therefore covers a step angle of 1.8°, allowing micro-stepping drives to subdivide movement further. During continuous duty, the windings draw a phase current of 5.0 A, a value that influences thermal behavior when the device delivers its rated power of 68.8 W. Rotor dynamics are governed by an inertia of 3.0 kg·cm², so acceleration profiles must consider this mass moment together with the winding inductance of 2.80 mH and resistance of 0.36 Ω.

Mechanical service limits complement the electrical data. The shaft accepts an axial force up to 60 N and a radial force of 301 N measured 10 mm from the flange, so pulley or gear loads must stay below these thresholds. Position repeatability is helped by maximum axial backlash of 0.075 mm at 9 N and radial backlash of 0.025 mm at 4.4 N. Dual sealed bearings are rated for 30000 h of life when loads and speed remain within the stated operating limits. To report position, an incremental encoder with 1024 increments per revolution is mounted on the rear housing. Final installation mass is 2.85 kg, allowing direct attachment to light machine frames without additional support.
